Patriot Daze, 9/11/01-1/20/09
60"x 48"
oil on gessoed panel
Since 9/11, the Bush administration has used the shock of what happened on that day and fear tactics to keep many Americans in a state of blind patriotism, wrapping themselves in the flag and branding anyone who contradicted their ideas as anti-American. I've tried to express my feelings about this and hopefully those of many others.

Collateral Damage

In April, a traveling display of white and red flags were set up on the lawn of Southern Oregon University as a reminder to not forget the atrocities being perpetrated in the name of freedom. Each white flag represents 5 dead Iraqi people and each red flag 5 American soldiers. There were 120,000 white flags and 800 red flags.

The striped dress and the theatrical feeling of the background were the contributing factors in naming this painting. While I often struggle with titles for my work, my wife, Mary Lou, who is a writer, will usually cut to the chase and rescue me, as was the case with this piece.
